I guess we have to simply say that “that damage has been done” and move on, but my concern insofar as the Alabama Senate Seat is concerned, is that we will be treated to another “run” by Roy Moore! Will this “religious gadfly” get the nomination again? I don’t presume to question the sincerity of his convictions, but he’s a looser, and should not be given another chance, because this time, if Doug Jones wins, it will be for six years. And I am of the belief that the National GOP will do everything it can to tank his candidacy like they did last year. We also don’t need a POS like Luther Strange!
I very much doubt Roy Moore will run again, and even if he does, he won’t get near to the primary vote he did two years ago. The religious right failed to come out for him in the December, 2019 vote because they fell for the “young girl” thing, mainly due to their wives and daughters negative remarks at home about him.
They wouldn’t say so, out loud, but their absence on voting day was deafening.
Put it this way—only HALF of the Trump voters from November 2016 voted, and ALL of the Hillary voters voted. What should have been an easy win for Moore was a slight defeat. That’s how much Republicans outweigh democrats here. NOT getting their vote was a disaster. That can’t happen again and it won’t.
He reached his nadir some time ago. He’s dead, politically.
